John Anderson's incredible career as a sports correspondent has included five Olympics, two World Cups, and nearly 150 England internationalsahere is his laugh-out-loud memoir of covering some of the biggest sports stories of the past 25 years From the Seoul Olympics to a freezing, rain-lashed hotel rooftop in Azerbaijan, John Anderson's hilarious memoir details his experiences in more than 40 countries as the sports correspondent at Independent Radio News and a commentator for Sky Sports. He's been in the thick of several football riots, was almost arrested during the 1996 Atlanta bombing, had to flee bottle-wielding fans at a rap gig, and survived gun fire during a high speed car chase to a Johannesburg brothel. He's rubbed shoulders with a host of A-list sports stars including PelAc, Mike Tyson, Dame Kelly Holmes, and Carl Lewis; and is one of very few people who have interviewed David Beckham in a French gents toilet. Among the celebrities he's encountered on his travels are Jack Nicholson, Bo Derek, and Stevie Wonderaalthough not simultaneously. With a lovingly-written stream of laugh-out-loud anecdotes, fascinating characters, and witty observations, this memoir will delight sports fans and non-sports fans alike.John Andersona#39;s incredible career as a sports correspondent has included five Olympics, two World Cups, and nearly 150 England internationals--here is his laugh-out-loud memoir of covering some of the biggest sports stories of the past 25 ...
